The use of the linear ordering method allowed to present the dynamics and the trend of changes in the examined period. By constructing synthetic measures of social order for Lithuania’s districts, the Hellwig method compared the positions of districts due to the level of social order achieved. Overall, the level of sustainable development in the social dimension for Lithuania’s districts in 2006–2016 increased. There was also an increase in the diversity of the level of sustainable development between the districts. The lowest level of sustainable development in the social dimension for the majority of districts was recorded in 2009–2010 and 2014–2015. The highest development of the social sphere in the analysed period was recorded in the Vilniaus district, and a medium-high level in districts Kauno and Klaipedos. The study uses data from the Lithuanian Statistics Department.
